COPY-BOOK.

SPEGIFIGATIONforming part of Letters Patent No. 235,448, dated December 14, 1880.

Application filed August 10, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, ELMER P. NEWMAN,

. of Dimondale, Eat-on county, Michigan, have I torn off as desired and L, I I5- gresses.

invented a new and Improved Copy-Book, of which the following is a specification.

I The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved copy-book which is convenient in use and less expensive than the copy-books in use-heretofore.

The invention consists in a copy-book having the copies printed in a series of rows on one or more sheets, which rows are separated by perforated lines, so that the copy may be passed into a suitable copy-holder.

In the accompanying drawing my improvedcopy book is represented.

The copies A A are printed in rows, preferably arranged transversely on several of the pages 0 G, preferably the first or last of a writing-book, each row or copy being separated from the next by a perforated line, B,

so as to permit of tearing off the copies very easily.

The above copy-book is to be used with a copy-holder which permits of moving -the copy along the blank pages as the writer pro- The copies are to be numbered, each copy having the number of its corresponding page in the copy-book.

The great advantage of the within-described copy-book is its cheapness in comparison to all copy-books in use, for at present it is necessary to pass each page of the book into a press to have the copy printed thereon, whereas only the first or last two or three pages of my improved 'copy'need be printed. The copies can-also be used for blank-books which are not provided with any copies whatever.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a copybook made substantially herein shown and described, with the copies printed in rows on a few pages of the book, each row being separable by perforated lines, as set, forth.

2. In a copy-book, the combination, with the blank pages D D, of the pages 0 U, having a series of perforated rows of copies printed thereon, substantially as herein shown and described, for the purpose set forth.

ELMER P. NEWMAN.
